Salmon is a very flavorful fish native to north atlantic and pacific ocean. If cooked right, it can beat any other fish in flavor in my opinion.
This recipe is a super quick and easy to make. When you want to impress a guest with your fish cooking skills, this is the one dish you can make, which is less work but outcome is restaurant style. Very few ingredients and most of all salmon is the shining element here.
So please enjoy the recipe. Do leave me comments or suggestions if any down below. Happy Cooking everyone!!!
Ingredients:
1 piece of salmon
sea salt to taste
crushed black pepper to taste
2 tbsp oil
Recipe:
1. Take a salmon piece. Put it skin side up on your cutting board. Press it from two sides, such that it rolls up a little. Now cut the salmon, with half an inch deep cuts and as close together as possible. These cuts help in making salmon skin crispier.
2. After cutting, add salt in each cut and everywhere else on salmon. Sprinkle some crushed black pepper on top.
3. Heat a pan over medium heat with 2 tbsp oil in it. Once oil is hot, place salmon in a pan skin side down. While placing the salmon, press it on top for 2-3 seconds. This prevents fish from shrinking as soon it touches hot surface.
4. Now let it cook and do not touch in between. You can tell the fish is cooking by the amount of change in color of the flesh. Once flesh is cooked (means turned white from pink and generally takes 4-5 minutes) two-thirds of the way, gently turn the salmon over.
5. Once you see, color change is evenly white all over (takes around 2-3 minutes), switch off the heat. Take the pan out of heat and turn the salmon over again, making skin side down as before until you serve it.
6. Serve it with any side dish you like. I served it with stuffed portobello mushrooms.
